The process for establishing the state's first charter schools is coming down to the wire, with time and finances becoming key issues as deadlines loom and a search for a crucial state employee to oversee the board's operations is just beginning.

Tasked with overseeing the charter granting process, the state Charter School Authorizer Board met again on Monday to look at projected costs to hire a consulting firm to help spotlight which of the 31 potential charter schools would be the best bet, while also discussing the board's open position for executive director/general counsel.
